Ladies Only

I have not had a period for months. I contributed it to the stress I was under and a very stupid and impulsive decision to stop my birth control. (When I was moving out, I decided that I was never going to need anything sexually related ever again, so I dumped every birth-control pill, condom, lube, oil, you name it, into the trash.)

Today I've been feeling especially blah, staring at my computer screen at work for almost an hour without moving. I was thinking about an e-mail I received from a friend the other day and thought, Yes, I too need to shake things up in my life! and then promptly wrote that in my planner. Then I noticed my Little Red Sister join me.

I don't know about anyone else, but the first real period after a breakup is so freeing. Everything's working fine for the next guy (or the guy after that) and you know for sure your ex didn't sneak one in and have the last laugh.

So goodbye, Ex and all your phantom babies!
